Nurses' Office

As part of our ongoing efforts to keep our students healthy and safe, we are reaching out to ask for your help. Our school nurse office is in need of some essential supplies to ensure we can provide the best care possible when students are feeling unwell or need first aid.

If you're able to donate any of these items, we would greatly appreciate your generosity! Items can be directly purchased and delivered to Delcastle via our Amazon Wishlist.

Every little bit helps, and your support makes a huge difference in the health and well-being of our students. If you have any questions or need more information, please don't hesitate to reach out.

We will need the following documentation and supplies:

Physical Education is a requirement for graduation. If, for some reason, a student cannot fully participate in physical education class, a physician's note is required. Both the Nurses' Office and Guidance must have this documentation. In an effort for the student to earn physical education credits, have the physician write how the student can participate in some capacity (walk, run, jog, or upper body strengthening/conditioning).
